Inhibition of antibody production by thioinosine. 3. Studies on antibody biosynthesis [PDF]
The effect of thioinosine on antibody response of immunized rabbits has been studied. When given simultaneously with the antigen, thioinosine profoundly suppresses the formation of humoral antibody.

A monoclonal antibody recognizing very late activation antigen-4 inhibits eosinophil accumulation in vivo. [PDF]
Using an in vivo test system, the role of the β1 integrin very late activation antigen-4 (VLA-4) in eosinophil accumulation in allergic and nonallergic inflammatory reactions was investigated.

High-Level Expression of Various Apolipoprotein (a) Isoforms by "Transferrinfection". The Role of Kringle IV Sequences in the Extracellular Association with Low-Density Lipoprotein [PDF]
Characterization of the assembly of lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] is of fundamental importance to understanding the biosynthesis and metabolism of this atherogenic lipoprotein. Since no established cell lines exist that express Lp(a) or apolipoprotein(a) [apo(a)

CD98hc facilitates B cell proliferation and adaptive humoral immunity. [PDF]
The proliferation of antigen-specific lymphocytes and resulting clonal expansion are essential for adaptive immunity. We report here that B cell-specific deletion of the heavy chain of CD98 (CD98hc) resulted in lower antibody responses due to total ...

Protein disulfide isomerase acts as an injury response signal that enhances fibrin generation via tissue factor activation [PDF]
The activation of initiator protein tissue factor (TF) is likely to be a crucial step in the blood coagulation process, which leads to fibrin formation. The stimuli responsible for inducing TF activation are largely undefined.

PECAM-1 engagement counteracts ICAM-1-induced signaling in brain vascular endothelial cells [PDF]
Interactions between leukocytes and vascular endothelial cells are mediated by a complex set of membrane adhesion molecules which transduce bi-directional signals in both cell types.

Insights into PI3K/AKT signaling in B cell development and chronic lymphocytic leukemia
This Review explores how the phosphoinositide 3‐kinase and protein kinase B pathway shapes B cell development and drives chronic lymphocytic leukemia, a common blood cancer. It examines how signaling levels affect disease progression, addresses treatment challenges, and introduces novel experimental strategies to improve therapies and patient outcomes.

cMet and fas receptor interaction inhibits death-inducing signaling complex formation in endothelial cells [PDF]
Fas receptor is constitutively expressed on endothelial cells; however, these cells are highly resistant to Fas-mediated apoptosis. In this study, we examined death-inducing signaling complex (DISC) formation in endothelial cells after Fas receptor ...
